syR,CTsE Jan 22-Among the decisions handed
down Yesterday by the General Term was one affirm

that of William Irvine. General in the Union army,
general of this State under Governor Fenon,
and twice a member of Congress before the war nom
the Seuben District Euceba Fitzgerald, the defend
ant, had been intimately acquainted with General
Irvine fort many years. Upon his death she
publicly stated that it had resulted from the
administration of poison and from violence at the
hands Of his wife or daughter. Irvine left large
estate, and within twentyfour hours after his death
Mrs Fit gerald called upon his wife and daughter
and said that she the real owner of large amount
Of property which stood in his that she had lent
him So 400 the day of his death that he was
largely indebted to her for services rendered in the
capacity of in the years Immediately preceding
his death and that unless some amioabe settlement
was made she would make the air blue with scandal
About year after the Generals death Mrs FitL-
gerald began an inquiry into Its cause Dr hdmihd a..
Reilly "A coroner OF Chemung County, had the
grave opened in the nighttime and the body taken
TO the receiving vault where examination was
made The coffin also searched and its lining was
cut open in ali effort TO find will which 1t was sup
posed to contain The body. the physicians say,
It, The coroner removed some of the visoera and car
ried them away with him. The body then re
placed in its conn and returned to the grave:
The discovery of these facts led to the indictment
to appear that the parts Of the body removed by
the coroner contained no poison and that afhdayits
shown to him WERE in material respects forgeries.
The defendant declined TO take the stand In her own
behalf Mrs. Fitzgerald sentenced to two years
Imprisonment in the Monroe County Penitentary. A
stay of proceedings was procured but she unable
to obtain bail and had to go 10 prison where she still
